Telugu cinema has seen three major announcements in a very short span, and together they have left fans with as many questions as answers. Here’s where things stand.
1. God of War Is on Track
Producer Naga Vamsi has officially put all the rumours to rest, confirming that NTR and Trivikram’s God of War is on track as planned. The film is under Haarika & Hassine Creations, with Anirudh Ravichander on music.
2. Anil Ravipudi’s Next Is Under SVC, for Sankranti 2028
At the Ramayana success meet, Dil Raju officially confirmed that Anil Ravipudi’s next film will be produced under his banner, Sri Venkateswara Creations, and it is targeting a Sankranti 2028 release. The hero is yet to be finalised.
3. NTR x Anil Ravipudi Under NTR Arts
Then came the biggest surprise. NTR’s film with Anil Ravipudi was officially announced under the NTR Arts banner, produced by Kalyan Ram. NTR himself called it “a laugh riot”. This one is confirmed, with no doubts.
Two Separate Anil Ravipudi Films
One thing is now clear: Dil Raju is not producing the NTR film. NTR x Anil Ravipudi is entirely an NTR Arts project, which means Dil Raju’s Sankranti 2028 film with Anil is a separate project.
The Questions That Remain
If Anil Ravipudi takes up the NTR film first, when will he make the SVC film, and can it still make Sankranti 2028?
With the Anil Ravipudi film likely to start after Dragon, will God of War go on floors in parallel, or wait until the comedy is done?
Wait and Watch
For now, only one thing is certain: NTR and Anil Ravipudi are coming together. How Dil Raju’s film and God of War line up around it will become clear in the coming weeks.
